Glanbia Farm Show – 2/11/2017

On the Glanbia Farm Show this week we heard first from the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed; he spoke to Matt O’ Keeffe about the need for farmers to have their Nutrient Managements Plans in to the Department as soon as possible. He also outlined the current situation with Glyphosate use as well as signalling that there are dangers for Irish farmers if the current proposed trade deals with MERCOSUR countries and New Zealand go ahead.

Elsewhere there was an update from IFA Kilkenny chairman John Bambrick on the proposed requirement for an NCT on ‘fast tractors’.
